Heightened Ecstasy

The night sky lit up with a shower of scarlet, yellow and green rain banging into the stars. Below, a mass of people stood with their cameras put, ready to capture memories of the new year. Looking out at sea, the largest jet of water could be seen, shooting up with the same ecstasy as the fireworks. The dark waves thundered around the piercing fountain, heightening its roar. The moon's silver reflection glimmered on those fierce creations...

Colours of Love

We walk on the beach
Vision stretching over the horizon.
The never-ending sheet of blue,
licks our feet.

The usually azure sky,
Now glowing pink,
As the red ball sinks beneath the waves.
Orange light encloses us.

The burning sand cools,
Seashells circle us,
Dolphins swim in the distance,
Their bodies glowing with colour.

Birds fly off,
Crabs hide beneath rocks.
Icy wind bites our skin,
I wrap the shades of warmth around me.

Hand in hand,
we turn and leave the beauty behind.

Hate

It's a weapon

Strikes you in the heart and mind alike.

Pain fills

Anger spreads throughout your body like wildfire

Words hurt,

Leaving a scar like no wound can,

Constantly demotivated, constantly bashed,

I stand alone.

Tense

Shoulders weigh under the pressure
Emotions almost bursting,
Tears well up.
The shadow of failure,
Whispers knowingly...

My heart beats fast,
My teeth nibble at my lips,
A wave of stress crashes,
Only to find a home in my brain.

Surrender

A deep, sinking feeling rests in my stomach
Mind boggled,
Emotions conquer
I give in

A moonlight escape

The night is quiet. All is dark, Ebony's coat shines in the distance. A fully grown horse, his coat the colour of his name, brushed. A single white diamond rests on his nose, just above those nostrils which breathe out warm air. I sit on the fence, gazing up at the sky; it is like a coal mine with diamonds peering down at me. They seem to multiply and soon the sky is twinkling so brightly that I can't look at it any more. The light shines down like a guidance, forming a river of silver in front of Ebony.

I mount him, grab the reins and click my tongue. He clops forward, his hooves forming a beat. I hum in time to it, then softly sing to myself. I lean down, and click my tongue faster, Ebony moves in time and before I know it, the wind is piercing my skin and my hair is blowing in the wind. I laugh and ride off in the distance.

Halo

The darkness closed in on me. I was blinded. An icy blast of wind caught me by surprise. I gasped and fog escaped and become one with my ebony surroundings. I shivered, but my short hair were damp with sweat. I looked around, looking for a familiar object nearby. Nothing made sense. I was in a new, coal-black environment where I couldn't even see my hands or feet. How did I get here?

A flicker of light made its way towards me in the darkness. I squinted and peered at it. Round and glowing, it lit me up. The darkness vanished and I was completely encased in golden. The halo started to move. I grasped it, not wanting to be left in darkness. I felt myself being lifted off my feet. The halo and I moved as one......
